BA Communication Management

University Campus

It's an exciting time to be a communicator—new media, new tools,
new audiences. Blogging, SEO, social media, PR 2.0, broadcast,
print and web writing, and public speaking are just the beginning.
Every business depends on people who can effectively
communicate—from negotiating the next business deal to upholding a
company’s public image. It's your time to connect the world to the
news and information it needs.

Why choose Communication Management at Saint Leo?

Communication Management is part of Saint Leo's Donald R. Tapia
School of Business—so you're not just learning to write and speak
effectively; you're connecting those skills to real, business-ready
strategies and success.

Develop a collection of professional documents for your
portfolio through class projects and internships. Participate in
Saint Leo's annual Business Plan Competition. Take advantage of the
trend-setting technologies at the brand new School of Business
building. Get advice from the pros—your professors bring years of
industry experience to the classroom, and frequent guest speakers
bring lessons straight from the boardroom and newsroom.

You can also hone your craft by contributing to Saint Leo's
literary magazine, Sandhill Review, writing for the
Lions' Pride student newspaper, and producing shows from
the WSLU Radio station.
